Toy Tales

Here are two of Tuckers toys, safely perched on the piano. On the left is Orange Bert so named because of his orange sherbet colour. He replaced Pink Bunny who is no longer with us because my brother's Labrador, Jesse, eviscerated him. Orange Bert hasn't got much stuffing, nor has he a sqeaker, so he should be safe from Jesse. On Orange Bert's right is Squirrel.....Squirrel's fur has become rather stiff and matted from being chewed on so much. But so far, at least, he is intact.

Can't say the same for Earless Bunny. Earless Bunny was One-Eared Bunny until yesterday when he lost his second ear to a Tucker attack. Sorry Bunny but better your ear than my pillows or oven mitts.

And this is Headless Puddy. Puddy, as she was once known, has been around for a long time. It was a gift, for me, from cousin Elaine many years ago. Then along came Cali! Puddy was chewed and shaken and much enjoyed. Puddy kept her head until Jesse got at her one day. Poor Puddy. Now nobody knows if she is coming or going!

I love this. Daisy and Harry don't really have toys, but Bodil had a little Canada goose, and after she had just about destoyed that, a yellow duck named Smacky. Teya had Shakey Mouse. They are all together under the lilac tree!

This is way too familiar. I have many demolished toy of Baron's. Finally he getsto take them outside where he hides them by the burying method. Only to dig them up later and return them to me, stll demolished but now wet and soggy as well. Yuk! :)

About Me

I am a happily retired teacher. I love almost any activity that requires being out of doors, regardless of the season. I love dogs and have a 7 year old Border Collie- Schipperke mix who likes to be outdoors with me. I used to have a beautiful tri-colour Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was 12 1/2 years old when I had to say good-bye to her. She appears from time to time in my blog as she is still part of my family in my heart. When I'm inside I enjoy reading, listening to the radio or music and watching T.V. I do as little housework as I can get away with!
